Lamborghini Reventon

Lamborghini Reventon

The car's namesake, owned by the Don Rodriguez family, is best known for killing famed bullfighter Felix Guzman in 1943 Yet in spite of this, and the car's carbon fibre components, the Reventón manages to accelerate to 100 KPH (62 MPH) in the same time as the Murciélago LP640 (3.4 seconds) The Reventón has been named after a fighting bull in line with the Lamborghini tradition. Initial reports suggest the 6.5 litre V12 may receive a power boost of approximately 15 kilowatts (20 horsepower), and this brings the new ouput close to 490 kW (660 horsepower). Most of the mechanics, including the engine, have been taken directly from the Murciélago LP640.

Even the interior looks like an airplane cockpit - (See pictures) Apparently the designers were taken specially to inspect the actual exterior of an F-22 Raptor fighter jet, before coming up with the design. The exterior styling was inspired by the F-22 Raptor. The official press release stated that only 20 would be built, but rumours later surfaced that the total number could be 100. Rumoured to be the most expensive and most powerful in the Lamborghini range to date, this one will leave a slight dent in one's pocket - in the region of about one million euros.

This supercar debuted at the 2007 Frankfurt Auto Show.

To reduce the risk of injuries in accidents, While it takes this exceptional car only 2.5 seconds to go from 0 to 100 km/h, it needs even less time – a mere 2.3 seconds – to come to a standstill from 100 (reference point). Such a super sports car may not seem to be brought to a halt easily, but the Veyron’s ceramic brakes slow it down faster than it can accelerate. Adjusting the back spoiler, reducing ground clearance, opening and closing the lids – it all adds to the perfect balance between propulsion and down force. The Veyron reaches velocities that would literally lift the car off the ground – if it were not for its ingenious aerodynamics, which keeps it firmly on the road even at full speed.

The Electronic Stability Program (ESP) ensures the necessary flexibility and maneuverability at any speed. This means that the seven-gear clutch transmission works with a torque of up to 1,250 Newton meters. It offers a total of 1,001 HP, and its ample power reserves even at high speeds are the fabric of dreams for luxury-class limousines: for a constant speed of 250 km/h, the Veyron only needs 270-280 HP. Boasting a maximum speed of more than 400 km per hour, the Veyron is unmatched in the super sports category.

Most of the components tucked beneath its hood are ingenious innovations that were formerly only deemed possible by visionaries like Ferdinand Piech. With its 16-cylinder four-wheel drive, the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 may well be the most sophisticated production vehicle of all times.
